Final Photo

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-wp2fglnmY&feature=youtu.be

1. YouTube ate away all of the quality to my pictures.
2. I tried to copy/paste the youtube link, but it won’t show up as a video. Technology cursed.

Multi Media Photos + Link

 ^ MultiMedia thus far.
Not exactly sure what happened to the photo quality once it hit youtube, but meh.
Yeah, I have phone/in person interviews mixed together. It was worse, but I used Audacity to clean it up a bit.

I used a lot of news photos and archival-type photos in order to tell the story for my multi-media assignment. I did take a ton of photos, however. Some of them didn’t fit into the time restraints for the assignment, so I’ve posted a good chunk of them here, complete with captions that correspond with the audio from the completed assignment.

AMBIGUOUS:

To me, this picture says, “‘MURCA.”
To other people, you know, non-Americans, I’m sure this says, “THE GREAT SATAN!”

ONE-SIDED PHOTOS:

Not all of IA is “4” Obama, but hey, this is what happened, so the Iowan Republicans can suck it.

Visual Journal

So, here are the things that surround me on a daily basis.

Classy ladies wear pearls - not sweats. I love dressing up.

Classy ladies wear pearls – not sweats. I make it a point to dress up every day because I strongly believe in presenting yourself well. I enjoy giving off the impression that I actually care.

I love checking the mailbox for dusty letters from Afghanistan.

After getting home from class, I check the mailbox for dusty letters from Afghanistan. “The world needs more people like you,” the Corporal recently wrote. It was a relief that my efforts actually are helping out forward-deployed military members.

It'll be a good day when I finish the crossword puzzle in 10 minutes.

It’ll be a good day when I finish the crossword puzzle in 10 minutes. I enjoy working out my brain before I hit my mundane tasks.

Decisions, decisions.

Decisions, decisions. I’m infamous for my obsession with high heels. My trademark is probably the “click, click,” of my heels as I walk down the hallway to class. 

"Today is the anniversary of losing the rest of my unit - since I'm still here to enjoy life, I'm want you to have something to enjoy."

A card came with a bouquet of flowers on a random day. “Today is the anniversary of losing the rest of my unit – since I’m still here to enjoy life, I’m want you to have something to enjoy. -Drew”. I dried them and they serve as a reminder that things can always be worse.

Knit two, purl two.

“Knit two, purl two.” I fidget excessively, so I’ve found that knitting helps me make a stupid habit more productive. 

Light reading.

Light reading. In down time, I like to follow military operations and veteran issues. While some people may see this as “work,” I see this as relaxing and fulfilling.

Serious reading.

. . . but I also do indulge in crappy women’s magazines. It’s nice to be mindless sometimes.

Pinterest projects and patriotism <3

Pinterest projects and patriotism line my walls. The poster is a reminder that war eventually ends, which I’m looking forward to. I am heavily involved in veteran issues and causes.

Murdered animals. Not okay.

So maybe these aren’t necessarily taken by the media, but newspapers print them as “reader submitted.” Barf.

The photo story at this link fits the example of surveillance theory, I believe. Stuff is going on, and photojournalism is the medium that is going to show other people. Like any good surveillance, photojournalism needs to tell the world what is really, and I mean really going on. It’s easy to hear about people dying and suffering in concentration camps, but these pictures pretty much prove it.

Visual Perception –http://www.walkofheroes.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/detail-of-american-flag-11279635008nzaN.jpg
What does this picture make you feel? This photo is representative of visual perception because while the pictures is really just of a flag, most people will take the flag to mean something else. They see the fabric and the colors, but think America! Baseball! Mom’s apple pie! Soldiers! Fireworks! Beer commercials!
